A Window Into the (Recent) Past

An e-mail draft was sitting on my computer when I got to my office this morning.  It’s obviously something I started on Friday and never finished.  This happens occasionally.  The message read, in its entirety:

I want to run three areas for potential improvement by you

It did not have a subject or a “to” address.  I hadn’t even added punctuation to the end of the sentence.

So, at the end of the day on Friday I had devised three brilliant ways to improve some application — that’s the only reason I would write such a thing — but I now have absolutely no idea what they were, which application it was, who would need to know about them, or even if there’s still time to implement them.  I also know that I could not pursue this unilaterally, since I was about to ask someone else.

Discard.

Blërg.

    I contend anyone can complete a email that has a To: address and begins with “I am concerned…”.
